Blum invests in Tandem runner expansion plan

Blum Inc. recently announced a $28.5 million investment plan over the next two years in machinery and equipment expansion.

The investment will be for Blum’s Tandem runner product line, with new upgrades to the assembly and stamping areas. Warehouse upgrades and an investment in solar panel equipment are also included. There will also be upgrades in injection molding and hinge assembly, according to the hardware manufacturer.

“After a long period of depressed growth in the building industry it has become favorable and necessary to invest as the market is expanding,” Blum U.S. CEO and president Karl Rudisser said in a statement.
